From $150 to $140. This is after the company (ho ho ho, now NKF Inc liao) posted a 13.8 million profit in September.
I think hor, NKF should PAY people to get their blood. After all, nothing is free right? -

What people want to see, I think, is NKF returning to its non-profit roots and offer bigger consessions to patients instead of posting annual profit reports. After all, NKF got where it is today by taking donation money from people who gave to it thinking the money was being used for a good cause instead of making a certain member of the elite fraternity and his merry men fat. Even today NKF still depends on blood donations from people. I think asking people to volunteer blood and then charging at profit patients for the same blood is taking the term "bloodsucker" to a new level of shamelessness.
People are not as stupid as some pigs who feed from the same trough as a certain elite fraternity would like to make them out to be. If NKF really want to be a profit making company then it should dispense with its pretentions of social responsibility and pay people for their blood. That way it all becomes a commercial enterprise and we can all sleep well knowing we live in an orwellian nightmare. -

More than a year, after the National Kidney Foundation scandal rocked the charity sector, SingaporeÂ’s largest charity has proved that its on the mend.
In its progress report for this year, NKF reported a net surplus as of September 2006 was $13.8 million.
The charity said its patients will pay less for dialysis treatments.
This is due to a cut in dialysis cost from $150 to $140 per session.
=> How much was the dialysis across the causeway? RM40?
So, more than three quarters of dialysis patients will pay about 12 per cent less in the dialysis co-payment scheme.
NKF has also seen more patients after it opened a new Dialysis Centre in Woodlands. As of this month, NKF has 2,139 patients, up from 1,937 patients for the same period last year.
It plans to open up two more dialysis centres in Ang Mo Kio and Hougang next year
A total of S$4.2 million was saved after manpower costs were cut by half.
=> In other words, the reserve is still growing at an astounding rate!
The number of lifedrops donors is steady at around 200,000. Before the NKF saga, the number of lifedrop donors was around 260,000. -
$10?? W0W!!

What happens to Durai?

DOES nkf charge late payment fees if the patient pay late?

$10. -

i dont understand why donors still choose to donate to nkf after what happened.
-
Now, ain't this a big fat farking hairy deal??? $10???
Lately there are a lot of other donation drives running around young teen kids approaching people in estates, shopping centers, and hawker centers, asking for donations of all kinds. Showng you that they are certified, flashing their Police Permits, and all that jazz..
In the end, after all their fancy talk, I tell them I don't trust them one bit.
She pushes me a can or a bag, I tell her I'm not convinced, and that I'd rather hand my money over to the NEEDY directly!!!
And I tell her don't waste her time! -
pap govt shd give free dialysis to all citizens.Originally posted by ditzy:I guess what most people want to see is nkf close its doors completely and leave all its patients to find some other way out huh? -
nkf reserves alone is sufficient to help pay the bills in full.Originally posted by crazy monkey:pap govt shd give free dialysis to all citizens.
why do they need hundred of millions of reserves?
it is crazy to give them money so they can have a fat reserve.
